I Have Anxiety

I don't like having anxiety,I can't even order food without feeling like I'm going to have an attack. I always ask my friends if they can do things for me because of my anxiety but they just say things like "grow up" or "just do it yourself". To be honest I think those two things are probably the worst things possible that you can say to someone with anxiety. In my experience it just makes me feel worse and more stupid than I already feel

Have you thought of seeing a therapist? You need to learn some coping strategies.

I asked my dad about it but he never really gives a clear answer on whether or not I should get a therapist he's worried I'll get addicted to the medicine because I have a lot of things wrong with me

@Chinchillin: you don't need medicating. You need to learn how to control your anxieties. You need to learn coping strategies, not get drugs.
